In practice, I found it more convenient to handle such time out  
outside of Lua, i.e. using timelimit [1] or such.

For example, using tcpserver [2] and HTTP.lua [3]:

tcpserver -c 100 -qRHlOD 0 3388 timelimit 60 lua Nanoki.lua .

In other words, tcpserver will start a time limited Lua process for  
every new connection.

The above setup is how the online demo of Nanoki runs:

http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/

As far as select and coroutines go... such setup is of limited  
practical use if any of the coroutine starts doing any real work aside  
from waiting on the network... ymmv of course...
